The Swap by Robyn Harding

3.0

---

I’m not really sure how to feel about this. It’s labeled as a thriller, but in my opinion it barely fits in that category. While obsession, manipulation, and stalking take place in the plot, most of the plot is actually extremely domestic. The final line of the synopsis is that their swap "provides Low with the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment," which sounds a lot more ominous than what actually happens. You know that eventually something bad will happen, but in the meantime, it's mostly deeply unhappy people making bad decisions in their lives.

I would recommend this is domestic drama with light thriller elements appeals to you. I liked it, but it's not what I was expecting at all.
